If you're just getting into the D&D experience, I wouldn't suggest going with 2nd ed. Lots of people enjoy playing it, only because that's what they're used to. They quit making 2nd ed. after the introduction of 3rd, and 3rd will be around for some time. If what you're saying, however, is that you're using a 2nd ed. character sheet for a 3rd. ed. character, then of course you're confused. Lots of things have changed since the conversion.[/QUOTE

Well, I wanted to play 2nd edition because I finally understand that THACO stuff and all that (I'm a Baldur's Gate 2 fan), but it looks like 3rd edition may be simpler, I dunno. It's probaly easier to find third edtiond stuff now anyway.
